[Verse 1]
You wore that winter face
Like it fit your bones
I kept my hand out there
You let it turn to stone
We burned too fast, too bright
Then watched it all go gray
Now every room you left
Still feels your cold today
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I heard you laugh
When the air got thin
I was reaching for your pulse
You were already in
[Chorus]
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
You left me out there
Shaking in the road
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
I loved you hard, baby
You loved me like smoke
[Verse 2]
Got your name in my chest
Like a bruise under skin
Saw your friends in the dark
Saw the night you went in
Little white lines on a table
Bad news in the glow
I was high enough to vanish
Still I felt you go
[Pre-Chorus]
And the phone kept ringing
Like a heart on glass
I was begging for a miracle
You were gone too fast
[Chorus]
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
You left me out there
Shaking in the road
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
I loved you hard, baby
You loved me like smoke
[Bridge]
I still talk to your shadow
In the passenger seat
Tell it come back, come back
But it never speaks
If I close my eyes
I can taste that snow
You were an open flame
And I was letting go
[Final Chorus]
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
You left me out there
Shaking in the road
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
I loved you hard, baby
You loved me like smoke
Cold as the wind blows
Cold as the wind blows
I’m still alive
But you never came home
